Well, as many of you know, I am going to be making a heresy-era raven guard army, using the BA codex. The question is- what type of BA army should I go for?

Well, according to Lexicanum, the Raven Guard are a much more controlled rapid-strike force, unlike the Blood Angels wild and heroic assaults.

Drop Pod tactical squads, and DS Assault squads seems like a good fluffy mix. Whether it's competitive or not is up for debate of course.

meh. I don't play tourney or WAAC, just for fun. For me, this is a nice, fluffy change.
I'll start buying the models at christmas (getting the codex next week). For my first unit I'm thinking of kitbashing the FW RG upgrade kit with the sanguard-maybe since all I need are the legs and arms I can get it on a bits site?

Possibly you can try ebay also.

I always like when BA arent being played as BA

Are you gonna use the sanguinary guard wings? I definitely plan to. I love the idea of RG guys swooping in on black wings

i would get the FW beaky armor, combine with FW raven guard bits, and get some Jump packs as needed.

would be very nice and astetically pleasing. could be competitive too.


i would run mostly Jump pack infantry backed up by some VV. you could have some Tactical or Sternguard in pods as support. i would also use Stormravens.

can anyone find where there are the 5 sanguard arms in stock?

I posted that. Great minds think alike, eh?

will do. If GW release the stormraven as-is, I will also need to buy a load of plasticard, if you see what I mean...

hmm. Never thought of that. What does the rest of dakka think? use regular SM jump packs or the sanguard ones?
